Background and approach
Jennifer believes people know their own stories and brings that respect into each session. She listens for strengths and helps people build on what already works. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused so clients leave with concrete next steps.
Her approach draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to match the moment and the person. That means combining practical skills for managing thoughts and behavior with values-driven goals and motivation support. Jennifer has spent much of her career in social services and has worked with both adults and children.
She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel doable and affirms the courage it takes to get help. Her style is calm, direct, and focused on helping clients find clear ways forward.
How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety or low mood keeps someone from doing what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want clear tools to manage symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure or stuck about change by exploring their reasons and building motivation. It often helps with addictions, behavior change, and starting new habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, pace, and day-to-day life. She adapts strategies as progress is made and checks in about what feels most helpful.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is low, and chat or text can fit quick check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while still using evidence-based techniques.
